Progress Prompt Window for Virtual Reward Tracking in MOBA Games
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, players face difficulty in obtaining virtual rewards in ranked modes, leading to frustration and loss of interest, resulting in wasted resources and inefficient man-machine interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that display a progress prompt window in the battle mode selection interface, showing the current resource growth level and status, and upon trigger operation, display a growth track with nodes corresponding to different resource levels, intuitively guiding users on resource acquisition, including virtual reward resources and their status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If players participate in ranked modes to obtain virtual rewards, then player engagement and resource utilization improve, but the complexity of resource tracking and user understanding increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the resource growth process into discrete growth levels with specific thresholds, breaking down the complex resource accumulation into manageable segments. Each growth level represents a distinct stage with clear objectives, making the overall complex process more understandable and trackable for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback mechanisms that continuously display current resource quantities, growth progress, and upcoming rewards. This feedback loop keeps users informed about their progress toward the next growth level, reducing the cognitive load of tracking resources manually while maintaining engagement.
2Loss of information
If the game provides detailed resource tracking, then user engagement improves, but the man-machine interaction efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and highlights only the most critical resource information (current level, progress to next level, and next reward) from the complete resource dataset. This selective extraction presents essential information in a simplified format that doesn't overwhelm users while maintaining adequate visibility of resource status.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses color-coded visual indicators to represent different resource states and growth levels. Color changes provide intuitive visual feedback about progress and status without requiring complex data presentation, enhancing information visibility while maintaining interaction simplicity.

AI summary
This application discloses a method for obtaining a virtual reward resource performed by an electronic device. The method includes: displaying a progress prompt window of a virtual reward resource matching a target user account in a battle mode selection interface of a game application, the progress prompt window comprising a current resource growth level and a resource obtaining status of the target user account; receiving a trigger operation performed on the progress prompt window; in response to the trigger operation on the progress prompt window, displaying a growth track of the virtual reward resource matching the target user account, the growth track comprising growth nodes respectively corresponding to different resource growth levels, each growth node prompting a virtual reward resource and a resource obtaining status that correspond to the resource growth level; and marking an account identifier of the target user account at a location corresponding to the current resource growth level on the growth track.
